Government Procurement Fraud and the False Claims Act

 

Federal Acquisition Regulation

 

As of December 12, 2008, Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) amendments require a government contractor to self-disclose its own or its employees’ violations of criminal conduct, relating to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuities, or the FCA. The offenses must have occurred “in connection with the award, performance, or closeout” of the contract or subcontract.7 False statements are the most commonly charged offense in procurement fraud cases, and are used to penalize common forms of fraudulent procurement activity.8

 

FAR requires a contractor to timely disclose when it has credible evidence to believe a triggering violation has occurred.9 The disclosure typically should occur before a complete and thorough investigation is completed. Disclosure should be made within thirty days in order to take advantage of the provision in the FCA that rewards timely self-disclosures with a limit of doublerather than treble damages.10

 

the new regulations effectively shift de facto management of the federal acquisition system to the Department of Justice.18 Increasingly, contract performance will be determined to be successful based on a contractor’s effective compliance programs.19
